Labor and Delivery Preparation
Pelvic health physical therapists make an excellent addition to your care team as you prepare for labor and delivery! I would love to work alongside your OB, midwife, doula, MFM, and your support partner to help you feel more prepared for your delivery.
In addition to having experienced both a natural and a medicated vaginal delivery, I have earned an obstetric certification from the APTA.
Each session, as we treat your primary symptoms, I spend time reviewing your current knowledge and give you education on how to prepare for your upcoming delivery.
We review topics such as:
Labor and delivery planning
Labor positions and breathing
Delivery positions and breathing
Perineal massage
Expectations for the delivery process
Techniques for pain management during contractions such as mindfulness and meditation
Handouts will be provided both online and via email for each of the topics we cover.
